Nelly’s jaw dropped.

“What?” Zephyr looked at her coldly. “Didn’t you say you wanted to show me your heart?”

“Zen…” Nelly forced a smile.

“Do you want me to do it for you?”

“No! I mean I can do everything for you.” She felt guilty. “It’s just a… metaphor to say that I can show you my heart. It’s…”

Nelly was incoherent. “Zen, don’t you understand what I’m trying to say?”

“I’m sorry.” Zephyr chuckled. “My thought process is rather direct. I only understand what people say as it is. I thought you’d really want to show me your heart!”

Nelly smiled, “Are you joking with me?”

“I never joke with people I don’t know well!”

His face was cold. There was a suppressive aura around him.

Nelly bit her lip and lifted her eyes to look at him. Her face alternated from flushed and pale.

“Y-You’re saying that you still don’t know me well until now?” She said softly, “Grandpa said that he’ll call the shots on our marriage!”

Zephyr frowned.

At that moment, Cordelia came in. There was a light and warm smile on her face.

Zephyr was stunned when he saw her and checked the time. ‘Oh, no! I’ve been so busy I did not realize that it’s lunchtime!’

“Cordelia…”

He licked his lips, panicking a little bit. How could he let her see Nelly in his office!?

“You must be hungry. I brought your favorite dishes. Come, eat.”

Her usual gentleness calmed his anxiety.
